该奖项将支持一个研讨会，“抗震设计的 钢筋混凝土梁柱节点”，由教授共同组织。 James O.德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的Jirsa和Hiroyuki教授 日本东京大学的青山。 与会者将在 夏威夷的檀香山，于1989年5月24日至26日，报告 美国和日本正在进行的研究项目，以及 讨论这些结果对结构设计的影响。 在这次会议上，除了邀请结构设计师， 纯粹的地震研究人员，以方便快速转移， 将结论付诸实践，并协助评估 研究数据。 研讨会将汇集来自世界各地的研究人员， 美国和日本，以及来自两国和新西兰的一些观察员 缤客 因此，与先前几次联合研讨会的连续性 参与者来自最有实力的国家， 在该领域的努力，即美国，日本和新西兰， 放心这次研讨会将集中在以前的小-con- 梁与柱连接的侧边问题，将是重要的， 因此，在帮助快速开发和利用 抗震技术，混凝土结构。

This award will support a seminar, "Earthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints," organized jointly by Prof. James O. Jirsa of the University of Texas, Austin, and Prof. Hiroyuki Aoyama of the University of Tokyo, Japan. Participants will meet in Honolulu, Hawaii, from May 24 to 26, 1989, to report results of research programs under way in both the U.S. and Japan, and to discuss the implications of those results to the design of structures. In this meeting structure designers have been invited in addition to pure earthquake researchers, in order to facilitate rapid transfer of conclusions into practice, and to assist in the evaluation of research data. The seminar will bring together researchers in the field from the U.S. and Japan, with some observers from both countries and from New Zealand. Thus, continuity with several earlier joint seminars involving participants from those countries with the strongest efforts in the field, viz. the U.S., Japan, and New Zealand, is assured. This seminar will concentrate on the previously little-con- sidered problem of beam-to-column connections, and will be important, therefore, in assisting the rapid development and utilization of techniques for earthquake resistant, reinforced-concrete construction.
